As mych as I should say Super Nintendo, I may have to say PlayStation 1.

While I was fortunate enough to play many of the smash hits, a few did manage to be rereleased onto the condole with a few additional features, like animated cutscenes. This tiny bit of mixed media set my imagination ablaze, and was when I looked towards games to tell more fantastic stories than all the books I was reading at the time.

Summer camp, creepy adults, ruined vacations and occasional wizards…? That’s nice, but there’s this game with a talking dragon, a time traveling swordsman, dimension hopping teenagers, zombie apocalypses…

Rocket Knight / Sparkster is fantastic, but I gotta say that the Genesis version is far superior to the SNES version, and I do not say that often when a game is ported onto two competing systems!

@Kitsu-Negi
I had Stepmania on mine and connected DDR pads to it, lol.

This is blatant Master System erasure, but Genesis/Mega did have Rocket Knight Adventures (and Tails so it wins by default)

SNES made me furry with its DKC1.

A friend of mine way way back had somehow hacked his oldskool generation 1 Xbox to be able to play NES, SNES and Genesis emulators… albeit, not fantastically… but still….

Xbox… But hear me out! It was the first gaming console I chose and bought for myself at age 16 I think and it was the first console with built-in Ethernet so when Xbox Live came out, only people with broadband could play. This was my first time being able to play games online without it being a horrible experience.

It also was the easiest console to mod and upgrade the hard drive. You could copy game discs directly to the hard drive too. I remember websites that would tell you trailer and logo files you could remove from the game files to keep the installs thin.

I also made it into a media center to play music and movies.

So yeah… My favorite but not really due to games but due to the versatility of the hardware.

ah cool! i forgot about game kiosks, i don’t even really acknowledge their existence anymore even though they’re still around lol

having tail concerto and klonoa paired up at one of them is amazing lmao
gateway kemono drugz…
K%emono%-Mart

also games with licensed music are always cool! i didn’t have much ps1 games with licensed music from what i remember though, maybe twisted metal did

and the virtual boy…. pffhhH
way too ahead of its time, though its crazy that we have actual passable VR now!

I played the demo’s of PS1 and N64 when those systems were brand new (gawd I’m friggin’ old).

Played the demo of N64 at Wal-Mart (the games in the kiosk back then were Mario 64 and Zelda: Ocarina of Time)

Played the demo of PS1 at a K-Mart (the games in the kiosk were – hehe, Tail Concerto and Klonoa)

And there was another time I played a PS1 demo at a Sears that had “Sled Storm” and the thing I remember most about that game is that it had REAL SONGS as the soundtrack, so it had this one specific remix of Rob Zombie’s “DRAGULA” song.

This one ^.

And I played demo of the “Virtual Boy” in that same Sears when the VB was a brand new thing, and yes, the rumors were true, playing it gave you intense migraines… lol…

the ps1! i grew up with a few ps1 games, but what makes the ps1 my favorite is looking back on all the cool games i missed or good games that fell under the radar. stuff like tail concerto and klonoa are major inspirations for kemono! i’d even argue that tail concerto defined the kemono style/fanbase the most out of any piece of media. and there’s a lot of experimental titles like LSD: dream emulator or moon: remix RPG adventure that i love

the super nintendo was what I remember most from my childhood!!!!!!! tho I wasn’t born yet I had older brothers so its what was around :3

To me, “Classic Era” would be the systems from the 80s and 90s… but I included some of the early “Modern Consoles” in there too… just cuz I know somebody in here probably grew up with a PS2 or an Xbox and never even touched a Regular or a Super Nintendo, lol…
